BSNL Returns to Profit After 17 Years with Indigenous 4G Network
BSNL, India's state-owned telecommunications company, has returned to profitability after 17 years. The resurgence is marked by a significant increase in subscribers and the launch of a revolutionary indigenous 4G network.
The Bharat Telecom Stack, also known as the 'Swadesh 4G Network', is set to connect over 26,700 villages across India with high-speed internet for the first time. This monumental achievement places India in an elite group of five nations capable of delivering a complete, indigenous telecom ecosystem supporting 4G and beyond.
The impact of this initiative is profound. Over 2.2 crore citizens now have access to affordable 4G data, opening doors to digital learning, smarter farming tools, and 24x7 telemedicine in rural areas. BSNL's subscriber base has surged from 78 lakh to 2.2 crore within a year, reflecting the company's renewed strength and the public's enthusiasm for the new services.
BSNL's return to profitability and the successful launch of the Bharat Telecom Stack are significant milestones in India's technological journey. With all BSNL towers upgradable to 5G, India is well-prepared for future technological demands. As the country marches towards becoming the world's second-largest economy by 2027, initiatives like these are set to play a pivotal role in driving growth and digital inclusion.
